I am not at all looking to pick a fight, but I also don't believe this is out of context. These same beekeepers have kept bees and made a living at it for several decades. Thus, they fit, IMO, into the definition you presented for "Master Beekeeper", namely they put bread on their tables by beekeeping. I seriously doubt they could do that for so long merely on government farm subsidies. The EWG chart sent around earlier supports that. Am I wrong?
